Informations

Built like a freestyle over a regular beat, the very condensed Grandmaster explores the border between text and abstraction. The extremely vertical structure, the regularity of its shapes and counter-shapes make it an almost-kinetic titling typeface, perfect for any incisive editorial layout. If you lose yourself in its rhythm you can almost hear it: cutting, scratching, mixing.
